1. COOKIES AND OTHER TECHNOLOGIES

We use cookies and similar mechanisms to understand how users use our website and for marketing purposes, including displaying advertisements elsewhere on the Internet.

What are cookies?

A cookie is a small text file that a website stores on your computer, smartphone, or other device used to visit the website. A cookie contains data about your use of that website.

Some cookies are necessary for the operation of our Shop and cannot be deactivated.
In other cases, we ask for your consent to install cookies during your first visit to our website. We do not use advertising or analytical cookies (or other non-essential cookies) without your consent.

Which cookies do we use?

Strictly Necessary Cookies
- These cookies are used for the proper functioning of the website. You cannot deactivate them, as our website would otherwise not function correctly.
- For this purpose, we use a tool that saves your privacy settings. It indicates your consent or rejection of the activation of specific types of cookies on our website.
- Other necessary cookies on our website are used for the proper functioning and management of the website, including making changes to the site and activating tracking tools to which you have consented.
Statistical Analysis of Our Website
- See Appendix No. 1 to this policy and briefly in the cookie consent management panel.
Functional Cookies
- Some cookies on our website are used to enable additional features in the Shop, such as a chat, a module for adding product reviews and/or star ratings, the option to recommend a product to a friend, the ability to view recently viewed products in our Shop, etc.
- A list of functional features used on the website, as well as an explanation of their specific purposes, can be found in the cookie consent management panel.
Social Media Plugins and Links: We have included links to our social media profiles (Facebook and Instagram) on our website.

Details on data processing by these social media platforms can be found on the websites of the respective providers: Facebook and Instagram – https://www.facebook.com/privacy/center/

Legal Notice Regarding Cookies

The legal basis for the Shop's use of necessary cookies (see section "Which cookies do we use?") is our legitimate interest, i.e., the right to operate a website that supports our business and the need to ensure its security.
The legal basis for the use of other cookies is your consent.

In connection with the processing of your personal data using cookies, you have the rights described in the section "Your Rights Regarding Data Processing." The use of cookies, particularly for advertising purposes, may involve profiling. This means that we, or the marketing companies we hire, can create a user profile based on the collected information (e.g., email address, order history, device type, technology used, frequency of visits) and derive future purchase predictions based on it. This allows us to decide which content (including advertising) is displayed on our and other websites. How long do cookies stay on the user's device? This depends on whether they are "persistent" or "session" cookies. Session cookies, which are necessary for the proper functioning of the browser, are deleted at the end of the user session, i.e., every time you close our website. Persistent cookies, which facilitate the use of the website (e.g., saving the selected resolution, content layout, user settings, and recently viewed products), are stored longer in your browser and remain there until their expiration date unless you delete them beforehand via your browser settings.

Third-party cookies (i.e., analytical, advertising, and social media cookies) are subject to their own privacy policies, to which we provide links in this policy.

How long do we process your data?

We process your data related to your order in the Shop for as long as necessary to fulfill the order and in accordance with accounting and tax regulations.

Furthermore, we process your data for as long as necessary to achieve the purposes listed in the table above (i.e., until our legitimate interest ceases, until you object to the processing, or until you withdraw your consent for marketing purposes – if you have granted such consent). Further processing is only possible if we, as the controller, are legally obligated to do so (particularly for tax reasons) and, if applicable, for archiving purposes to protect against potential claims (until they expire). To whom do we disclose your data? We use the services of other partner companies as part of our business activities. Your data may therefore be shared with: the company providing the Shop software, the tax advisory firm, the website hosting provider, the email service provider, and other companies whose services and marketing tools we use. Your data is also transmitted to courier services and payment providers to process your order. However, these companies are separate controllers for the processing of personal data. We participate in a customer satisfaction/opinion survey program. If you consent to participate in such a survey, your data will be forwarded to the organizer of the customer satisfaction system, who is a separate controller of your personal data. For the marketing activities described in the "Cookies" section above, we use services from companies based in the USA (Google, Facebook). Therefore, personal data may be transferred to third countries outside the European Union. An adequate level of protection for your data is ensured by the Data Privacy Framework. Further information can be found at: https://www.dataprivacyframework.gov/s/ Your Rights Regarding Data Processing: We commit to maintaining the confidentiality of your personal data and allowing you to exercise your rights.

Object to the processing of your data if we process it based on a legitimate interest;
Restrict data processing;
